LONDON, Dec. 3.-The result of Thurs
days election at Dulwich is claimed by the
Liberals as great victory. but as a matter
of fact the honors are about evenly divided
The reduction of the Tory vote is, of course,
a source of great satisfaction to the Liberals,
but the former derive still greater degree
of satisfaction from the fact that they still
possess the seat and are likely to retain it for
a long time to come

DUBLIN, Dec. 3.-The arrest of Timothy

to cripple the league, Harrington having
been the principal director of the affairs of
theleague since the arrest and incarceration Of
OBrien and the extensive travelling Of Dillon,
who has been stamping Ireland at intervals
during the last few months. An immense
crowd met Harrington on his arrival at the
Tralee railway station Friday night, and
through their demonstrative acts came into
collision with the police When Harrington
appeared in view he was greeted with deaf
ening cheers, and the police came in for a
corresponding share Of reproach and villifica-
ton. The crowd finally became so
persistent in their condemnation Of
the government and its servants, the
con stables, and SO menacing in their attitude
that the order was given to charge with
drawn batons, which the police promptly
obeyed, using their clubs with great vigor.
The crowd, unable to withstand the on
slaught, fell back and finally dispersed, many
Of their number being injured. Harrington

THE CONFLICT IN IRELAND.
Mayor Sullivan Sentenced to Prison for
Two Months.

Two mOntns.
DUBLIN, Dec 3.-This city is now without
a mayor Sullivan having been convicted ON
his second trial for printing league meeting
reports in his newspaper. His sentence of
two months does not involved labor, and he
will be treated az f1rst-class misilemeanant
He said to the court that he would not ap.
peal from the decision, but would suffer his
punishment proudly, as he would if it were
ten times greater.
This event has created a tremendous sensa-
ton, as it leaves the municipality of Dublin
without a head for a month, at the expira-
ton of which time Sexton will assume the
Office of lord mayor, il he, too, is not thrown
into prison in the meantime. The prompt
conviction of Sullivan proves that
the Tory government Is determined
to go to the extreme length permitted by the
coercion act
MIR. Sullivan, previous to his conviction,
took his place on the bench at the assizss, but
omitted he left the court after making a
formal protest, Sheriff Sexton going with
him.
After his conviction Sullivan was conveyed
in a cab to Richmond prison Immense
crowds of persons followed the vehicle
through the streets, alternately cheering Sui
Ivan and kissing and Jeering at the police.
Along the route several sharp conflicts be-
tween the police and the crowd took place,
but no attempt was made to rescue the pri-
sDner

THE PRINTING OF BILLS.

A Great Saving Effected by the Adoption
of the New Rules.
Public Printer Benedict was at the
Capitol yesterday and had an interview
with Speaker Carlisle. In reply TO a
question from the CRITIC reporter, Mr..
Benedict said of tine new rule adopted
which greatly reduces the printing of
bills public and private:
"That rule just adopted which cuts
down the printing of private bills to 400
and public bills to 500 will affect large
saving in the cost of printing bills. If
the Senate adopts similar resolution,
and the introduction of bills in both
houses continues on the increase as they
have in passed Congresses, the amount
saved to the people in that one item
alone will be something like S25, 900 or
$4,000 per annum. You know bills
have precedence over every other kind
ofprinting, and when the flood gates are
open have to stop everything else and
start the presses to running night and
day printing public and private bills.
The introduction of bills has been in
creasing year after year until now the
printing Office is actually taxed for more
room to accommodate the demands of
Congress"

THE oRLrANIsrs ExcInnEn.
The Gar win Keep tho Family Out Of
Russia.

HuAsin.
LoSpoS, Dec. 22.-The Gar is credited
with a determination TO exclude from
Russia upon the slightest future pre-
tense all members of the Orleans family,
their dependents and supporters. In
vestigntion into the matter Of the forged
letters proved some OF his own house
hold to be so intimately connected with
that affair that he was forced 90 order
cessation Of further inquiry, but this
naturally doubled his Indignation
against the instigators Of the plot which
threw all Europe into n .umult for It
week. Every year appears to weaken
tue chances of the mOnarchists ever re-
gaining ioothold in France. OF the
former prctondcrs the Comtc de Cham
bOrd was, as man, Il model of prohity
and virtue. Unuifcctedly religious, he
was rcverenced by the Catholic element
and respected by those indifferent to the
church.
Nowthat the succession has fallen 10 the
Orleanists and the throne seems farther
of than ever, the deterioration in morale
has become marked. aud the opinion is
gradually being confirmed that they are
falling off US did the Stuarts of England,
and like that unfortunate race arc
doomed TO ignominious extinction. At
the downfall of NJ. Grcvy their hopes
rose somewhat, the expectation that
Jules Ferry would replace him having
some foundation, but NE election of
Carnot put Quietus 90 their aspirations
in this direction, the intense dislike
toward NJ. Ferry developed during and
after the presidential contest seeming to
D., al, ,,, i ii
manner. The leaders of the Orleanists
party agree that their campaign has
retrograded ten years at least by the
check given to them i'll the choice of
Carnot
The approaching general elections
which cannot be much longer delayed,
| will test the strength of the monarchists
| IN manner not TO be mistaken, and If
there is serious diminution in the
number OF seats held by the representa-
tivcs of their cause, sanguine indeed
must be the believers in their ultimate
success. The failing fortunes Of the
family are by no means aided by the
scandals related of the family Of the
Due de Chartres, whose son was re-
Gently banished by his father to Com
stantinople TO escape the wiles of mar
ried woman bearing noble name,
whose nobility did not render her too
scrupulous TO bleed the young man of an
enormous sum Of money.
The harpy in question followed the
exile to the East, and the whole affair
is the gossip and the laughing stock of
the clubs of Paris. Losing the respect
of the graver portion of the community
and becoming ridiculous in the eyes Of
the frivolous and fashionable, their pros
pect of ever welding the coveted scep-
trc of France becomes more and more
visionary every day.
